Goan Korgut Rice
South Goa is home to the indigenous rice type known as Goan Korgut Rice, which is prized for both its rich flavour and historical significance. This Geographical Indication (GI) product supports regional livelihoods and culinary customs while capturing the spirit of Goan agriculture and culture.
Goan Korgut Rice, or simply “Korgut,” has its origins in Goan agriculture, especially in the South Goa province. This species of rice is grown utilising traditional techniques that have been passed down through the centuries.
Local farmers appreciate the land and its resources by practicing sustainable farming, frequently on family-owned farms. Korgut’s cultural significance is highlighted by how its cultivation is entwined with Goan festivities and community meetings. Goa’s rich legacy is reflected in the rice’s traditional use as both a staple food and a component of many ceremonial dishes.
Goa Mussarad Mango
The Mussarad and Maang–Hilario mango varieties, earlier cultivated and known largely within select farming communities, have seen renewed interest for their aromatic properties and distinctive taste.
